”Second half, his whole thing was like he’s trying to get me,” Durant said of Williams on Tuesday. “He was searching for me, he’s looking to try to tech me up to get me back because he’s still got his feelings hurt from the first half.”

“I wasn’t getting picked on last night,” Durant said. “I was being a diva last night. I’ve got to just own up to it. I watched it when I got home. I was wondering why he was coming at me so hard but then I watched the plays I was like, ‘Yeah, I looked like a jerk out there.'”

The NBA Referees Association tweeted on Thursday that it accepted Durant’s apology.
